K-Cl cotransport (KCC) is activated by nitric
oxide donors and appears to be regulated by the cGMP signaling
pathway. Expression of KCC mRNAs (KCC1-KCC4) in rat vascular
smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is unknown. We have reported the presence
of KCC1 and KCC3 mRNAs in primary cultures of VSMCs by specific
reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. KCC2 mRNA appeared
at extremely low levels. KCC4 mRNA was undetectable.
Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
revealed a 2:1 KCC1/KCC3 mRNA ratio in VSMCs. Depletion of protein
kinase G (PKG)-1 from VSMCs did not change KCC3 mRNA expression.
Analogous results were obtained with PKG-1-catalytic domain- and
vector only-transfected VSMCs lacking endogenous PKG, suggesting no
involvement of PKG-1 in the maintenance of basal KCC3 mRNA
expression. However, 8-bromo-cGMP, a PKG stimulator, acutely increased
KCC3 mRNA expression in a concentration- and time-dependent fashion; this effect was blocked by the PKG
inhibitor KT5823 but not by actinomycin D. These findings show that
VSMCs express mainly two mRNA isoforms, KCC1 and KCC3, and suggest
that PKG participates post-transcriptionally in the acute KCC3 mRNA regulation. The role of KCC3 on cell volume and electrolyte homeostasis in response to PKG modulators remains to be determined.
